Maintaining DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation
- DMEPOS Pharmacy accreditation is issued for a three-year term. NABP requires an annual compliance review and program participation fees in year two and year three.
- Following year three, a full reaccreditation must be completed.
-
Compliance reviews and reaccreditation are conducted to determine eligibility for continued accreditation.
Prior to your accreditation anniversary date, NABP provides guidelines for completing annual compliance reviews and reaccreditation.
DMEPOS suppliers must be reaccredited before the current accreditation expires. Unless a pharmacy has received a pharmacy accreditation exemption confirmation from the NSC, we encourage suppliers to seek reaccreditation for a new, three-year period during the third year of your pharmacy’s DMEPOS accreditation. NABP will contact its DMEPOS-accredited pharmacies prior to the expiration date of their current three-year accreditation to begin the reaccreditation process. Accredited suppliers are also welcome to contact us any time to begin the process.
A Note About Revoked Accreditations : If accreditation is revoked because annual participation fees or reaccreditation fees are not paid, the NSC will revoke the Medicare billing number. If a supplier does not respond to the NSC’s revocation notice and the corrective action plan during the revocation process, the supplier will be suspended for one year from the Medicare program.
